Chapter 4: Confusion and New World part 2
~Last Time~
"Kagome… how do you feel for me?" Riku asked, looking away, afraid of her answer
Kagome looked shocked, she looked at Riku and saw him turn away, yet she was gonna ask him the same thing. Thinking, Kagome softly answer
"Riku…I…I…"
~Now~
"Riku…I…I…" Kagome stated but got cut off by Riku.
Taking her hesitation as a bad sign, Riku closed his eyes and stoned his heart, knowing now that he did love her, yet she didn't love him back.
"Kagome. Stop. Its ok if you don't like me. I was only curious was all." Riku stated before swiftly getting up and walking away, fighting back tears.
Kagome stared at him with hurt eyes. Why did he leave so fast then? Why didn't he let me tell him how I felt? Does he truly believe I don't like him? she thought, getting up, she hung her head and walked slowly back to her room, fighting back tears.
~Next Day~
When kagome woke up that morning, she felt horrible. After that encounter with Riku, she didn't get a peaceful night's sleep and had tossed and turned the rest if the night. Sighing softly, she got up and out of bed. Walking to her mini black backpack, she pulled out her mini closet and used her miko powers to enlargen it. Opening the doors softly, she looked though it until she pulled out the outfit she liked. Stripping of her old clothes, Kagome put on the new fighting kimono. It was almost like the other one, except instead of black, it was red with a black moon and silver petals with black shots underneath it and cute little black ballerina slippers to go along with it. Smiling, she shrunk the closet and put it back in her backpack. Sighing softly, she made her way down to the library. Once she got there, she opened the door and saw everyone else there.
"Good morning sleepy head!" Sora said, smiling
"Good morning imouto, how did you sleep?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome laughed and smiled.
"Good morning too you to Sora and I slept ok aniki, and you?" she said/asked
"I slept fine." he replied.
Kagome smiled and looked around, it seemed the only chair left was by Riku. Looking up, she saw him looking away and sighed, slowly, she sat down by him and from the corner of her eye, she saw him stiffen and move away slightly. Sighing softly, she looked up and engrossed into conversation with others.
"So… what's our next move?"" Kairi asked
"Well… as the king said, we need to go to other worlds and see if they need any help with the slowly growing numbers of heartless and nobodies. Also to investigate these new people dressed in black." Sora said seriously, looking at everyone.
"When do we leave?" Kagome asked
"As soon as we're all ready." Sora said
Everyone nodded and decided to meet up at the gummi ship in 10 minutes and left to prepare. Sighing, Kagome got up and went to the garden, seeing as she was all ready and prepared. Sitting on a bench near by, Kagome sighed, thinking of last nights events and looking down. Taking out her guitar, she made it bigger and decided to sing a song before leaving, knowing now she wouldn't have an audience.
Yeah, Yeah
What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
Its ok to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You want to just shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searching for
Forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Unknown to Kagome, her two aniki's were listening, both their faces looking shocked to see their imouto pour her heart out into this song with real emotion.
Its so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you cant change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by
Moving so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
Forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Yeah, Yeah.
Sighing softly, Kagome wiped the tears away from her face and shrunk her guitar and put it away, sighing, she got up and went to the gummi ship to wait for the others. Shortly after she arrived, the other's came in. Lastly, Riku came in and totally ignored her. Seeing this, Sesshomaru decided to watch the two for two worlds, not liking what he sees at the moment.
~~Riku's P.O.V~ (After they left the library)
I walked back to my room and shut the door, fisting my hands in my hair, I sighed in frustration.
"Why did that have to be the only chair left?" I asked myself.
Sighing, I sat on my bed and just let my mind wander, just not onto her. After last night, I vowed to myself to not look at her, talk to her or think about her. Doing anyone of those would hurt me badly… and on a mission, that's not good. Looking up at the clock, I realized it was almost time to go. So with that in mind, I gathered all my things and left for the gummi ship.
"ugh! Why! Why must she plague me?" Riku thought bitterly, sure, he loved her, but what could he do? He didn't want the pain.
Sighing, I realized I was the last to board and when I got on, I immediately noticed Kagome, smiling and talking with Inuyasha and Sora. Looking away, I walked straight into the driving area( I cant remember what that's called xD)
Looking over my shoulder at Sora, I said in a cold voice;
"Come on Sora. It's time to leave" and with that, I turned my back to them and stared into the empty room.
Soon after, I felt another weight on my left side, glancing to it, I saw Sora was there with a worried look.
"You ok Riku?" he asked me, worry lacing his vocals
"Ya. Im fine. Just didn't sleep well." I replied in a end-of-discussion tone.
Sighing, he nodded and we started up, soon we left Disney Castle. Looking at Sora, I asked;
"Where should we go to first?"
Sora thought for a moment before smiling and replying;
"Atlantica!" Riku just rolled his eyes at his friend but nodded and started off towards atlantica.
~Normal P.O.V~
Soon after their departure, Sora come on the intercom and announced:
"Everyone, we will be landing shortly in Atlantica. Also, be warned, if you do not want to be turned into a fish, you do not have to come along." And with that said, they all thought about what they would look like.
"Hn, this Sesshomaru will not be accompanying you into this world imouto, so please be careful." Sesshomaru stated softly, looking at his imouto.
"Feh, me either. I like being a dog. Not a dog fish." Inuyasha said, shuddering softly.
Kagome both smiled and giggled at her brothers. They always made her smile, no matter what.
"Ok aniki and otouto. I'll tell you everything when we get back, ok?" She said, smiling
Nodding, they both closed their eyes for some "sleep." Giggling, Kagome looked out the window and saw that they were there.
"Ok, is everyone ready to go?" Sora said, coming out to meet them.
Nodding, Kagome, Sora, Riku and Kairi all left, slowly descending into the new world known as Atlantica. Once there, Kagome noticed that she could breath underwater and looked over at the others. Giggling, she noticed that both Riku and Sora were shark men(Riku has the same tail as Sora, just black with silver). Blushing, she noticed they were both topless. Shaking her head, she looked over at Kairi. Gasping softly, she saw that Kairi was a beautiful mermaid with a shiny pink tail and baby pink sea-shell bra. Kagome wonder what she looked like and was about to look before;
"Oh my god! Kagome! You absolutely amazing! doesn't she guys?" Kairi stated/asked.
Blushing, Kagome looked over at the boys to see Sora with his mouth to the floor and Riku still not facing her.
"What?" She asked
"you look… stunning kagome" was all she got out of Sora
Blushing, Kagome looked down and gasped
~Kagome's P.O.V~
Looking down, I gasped softly. What met my eyes made me run my hands over my tail softly, stroking it. There, instead of legs, was a magnificently beautiful black tail with silver streaks and for a bra, I had glossy red sea-shells with silver lining them. On my head, lay a small crown hair piece. Looking over the the others, I laughed softly.
"Shouldn't we be going to see if they need any help with the heartless? And and and the no… nobodies?" I said, stammering softly, looking away.
Sora laughed and Kairi giggled, but they both nodded and started swimming away. Me, having turned away, didn't notice this and almost fell(is that even possible?) on my tail when they yelled back;
"Hey! You coming?"
Blushing, I fumbled and quickly swam after them. Soon, we made it to a beautiful looking castle and I couldn't help myself from staring in wonder at it.
"Guys, welcome to Atlantica." Sora said, smiling softly
"Its so beautiful." I said, whispering mostly to myself
"Ya…but not as beautiful as you." Both Sora and Riku whispered. Blushing, we entered the castle and went to the throne room, there, was an old looking merman and a crab. The merman, who looked to be the king, looked exhausted and tired and very old, yet very handsome, while the crab. Well. Lets just say he looked red hot mad. Stopping a bit a ways, Sora scooted forward a bit and cleared his throat and bowed. We all followed shortly after
"Ah, um, yes, who is it?" the Old man said, which sounded more like a sigh.
"Heya King Tritan. How are you doing? You look exhausted." Sora said, straightening up.
"Oh? Do I know you?" the king inquired, life sparking in his dull eyes.
Sora laughed and I just stared at him dumbly, shaking my head, I swam forward and bowed low, saying;
"Your majesty, please forgive my friend. Sora has a tendency to forget his manners" I said softly, grinning when I heard Sora scoff.
King Tritan looked more closely and then laughed softly.
"Oh! Yes! Know I remember you! You helped us twice, once with those dark creatures and then with getting my daughter, Ariel to sing." the king said softly. Looking over, the King noticed both me and the two others with Sora, but his eyes rested on me.
"Ah. And who may you be young lady?" He asked
Straightening up, I smiled up at him.
"My name is Kagome, your Highness" I said softly
The king laughed at me and shook his head.
"Please. No formalities with me my child. Any friend of Sora's is a friend of mine." He said, smiling.
Blushing, I smiled and nodded. Then, I remembered our other companions.
"Oh. Forgive me. This is Kairi and Riku. Their our other companions." I said, smiling.
The King smiled and nodded at them, before turning to Sora.
"Well… I guess you haven't come here to visit me, have you?" King Tritan asked.
Sighing softly, Sora shook his head"
"No Sir, we've been told heartless and nobodies are showing up in worlds and wanted to know if you were having any trouble with them or need any other help?" Sora said, looking up at the king.
The king looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding.
"Ah, Well. You see, we've had no more problems with the dark creatures, but I do need your help with another matter" the King said, looking at me and Kairi.
Blinking, I turned and looked at Kairi, who looked as confused as I was. Seeing our blank looks, the king laughed.
"Oh, don't worry. Its just..my daughter refuses to come back down to the sea for a musical and we need someone to sing in her place, but no one is willing to do so… Maybe Miss Kagome or Miss Kairi will be willing to?" he said, looking pleading towards me and Kairi.
"No sir…I not a singer, but Kagome, she has the voice of an angel." Kairi said, smiling softly.
Blushing softly, I turned to look at Kairi with a glare, before turning around to look at The King.
"Ah. So will you please help us Miss Kagome?" The King asked me, which sounded more like a plead. Blushing more, I nodded softly, making him smile softly.
"Thank you my dear. Do you know any songs? You are in two parts of the musical, one short song and then one somewhat long song. Is this ok with you?" The King asked
I smiled and nodded, thinking of the perfect songs. The King smiled and motioned for me to follow him. Slowly, I swam after him and guessed it was too the show.
"Are you sure your ready?" he asked me. Nodding, I smiled and went to the stage. After they announced me, I slowly went on and sighed softly, grabbing a mic, I spotted my friends up in rafter with the King.
"This is a song my friend wrote, she passed away shortly after it and I miss her dearly" and with that, I started to sing song.
Athena's Song(Btw. Athena isn't Ariel's mother in this fanfic!)
Oh, the waves roll low
And the waves roll high
And so it goes
Under the bright blue
Endless sky
Waves to try measure
The days that we treasure
Wave hello
And wave goodbye
Smiling, I slowly drifted to an end. Looking up, I realized that I looked down to try to hold back tears. Soon, clapping and cheering was heard and I blushed, whispering a "thank you"
"And now, for my final song. I will be singing "I remember". And with that said, I began to sing softly again, closing my eyes as memories filled my vision.
Under the bright blue
Endless sky
Wait, I remember that
How I know that song
I remember sitting in the moonlight
And that feeling
What's that feeling?
I remember, yes
How I know that song
Though it's been so long
I remember happiness
Without a floor or ceiling
What's that feeling?
I remember
Oh! I remember her
And how we were
I remember wanting
What the evening would be bringing
I remember singing
Under the bright blue
Endless sky
Waves try to measure the days
What we treasure
And I
I remember
I remember music
And I'm never going back
To the silent law they wrote
I will sing in every tempo
Every last chromatic note
For I, I remember her
I remember music
And I remember
Love
Loveeeee
Softly, I slowly stopped and when I did, I whispered a "thank you" before any cheering or clapping sounded and swam away as fast as I could. Making the people in the audience gasp and look after me in curiosity and worry. Swimming blindly, I swam into an a beautiful open sea field. There, I sat down on a rock and cried softly, letting the memories fill me to the bone.
~Normal P.O.V~ (sorry…I had this all thought out haha)
~With Sora and others~
Everyone watched with worry as Kagome feld after singing. Looking at each other with a worried expression, even Riku.
"I think we need to go find her and see its she's ok." Kairi said, looking at Riku and Sora.
"Ya. We don't want her getting into torulbe or hurt." Sora said, glacing at Riku
"Yes… That would be very bad if she did." he stated softly
Nodding, the 3 split up and went in search of the young girl. Sighing softly, he wandered around, calling out her name softly, that is, until he found our stormy blue eyed girl sitting on a rock, crying and whispering'
"how could I have done that? Why didn't my miko senses alert me! Why couldn't I save her?" Kagome cried. Slowly, he swam towards her, pondering what to do or say.
